New Jersey A1156 ensures mayors retain appointing authority under council-manager government.
New Jersey A1156 amends existing law to ensure that mayors retain their appointing authority in municipalities governed by a council-manager form of government. Specifically, when a mayor is elected at-large, they retain the power to appoint officials as prescribed by general law. This includes filling vacancies in the trustees of the public library and the board of education. The mayor also presides over municipal council meetings and has a vote in its proceedings.
